Week 1 games (Nov. 25-29)

As the kitties extend their lead to 7 against the Lumberjacks Aari does seem to be struggling with her shot. Would have thought she had some time in the gym to get that stroke down.
 
Arizona can't shoot. They look awful. Can't hit from the perimeter, can't make layups. Up 9 now but should be up by about 20.
 
Timeout NCCU, 5:21 left 2nd quarter...NC State leading 38-13.
 
30-24 at the half, ugly ugly game. Reese has 15 for the Cats.
 
Certainly apparent that NAU has one game under their belt while this is the first game for the kitties. Very impressed with the way NAU is hitting the offensive boards.
 
Briefly Arizona had Lauren Ware and Semaj Smith on the floor together. That is some serious size. 6-5 and 6-6, and neither has a small frame.
 
.-.
Coombs having a slow start but just had 3 very quick drives for buckets including a strong spin move and baseline move that blew by her defender.
 
Baptiste and Yeaney look like they have spent plenty of time in the weight room, serious physiques.

She is certainly quick and explosive and showed it on that play. It's nice to see her finishing like that. I hope she has a great season.

My honest first-blush reaction to watching one quarter of this game is that both of these teams are destined to be mired in the mushy middle of the two most overrated conferences in the country.
 
Who knew Van Lith was such a rebounding machine? She has 11 today, to go with her 20 points. Louisville rolling against Eastern Kentucky.


I had this thought after several Fr. guards put up good rebounding numbers in their debuts: did Sabrina Ionescu and Mikayla Pivec start something new? If sub 6 foot guards start grabbing 8 or more rebounds regularly, that seems like not how it used to work.


edit--Van Lith 5-9 from 3, that wasn't really her strength I thought
 
Halftime: NC State leading NCCU, 46-25. Raina Perez leading all scorers with 10 points...Jakia Brown-Turner with 8 and Jada Boyd 7 for NC State.

Paris McBride is the leading scorer for NCCU, with 7 points.

NC State shot 58.1% in the first half, on 18 of 31 shooting. NCCU was 10 of 31 for 32.1%. Both teams made 4 THREEs in the first half.

Apparently GTech has only 7 scholarship players due to assorted injuries. GA may be limited but they are deep and physical
 
Georgia may be a little bit better offensively this year. Still not efficient from 3 point land but more weapons who can create in the paint.

Did UNC come back to win that game?

They are winning by like 20 points with a couple minutes left in the game. They completely took over the game since the 2nd quarter

I really like Poole for UNC. Talented young kid.
 
My Panthers.....

Arizona pulling away to start Q3. Baptiste is getting going w/ 3 quick buckets.

What the Lord giveth...He can taketh away.
 
Arizona scored more in Q3 than Q1 and Q2 combined. 61-45 now. Couple times they looked about ready for the knockout blow, then NAU chipped away at the lead a bit.
 
NC State's lead has ballooned to 36...72-36, with 2:49 left in the 3rd quarter. Elissa Cunane has exploded in the 3rd quarter...now with 16 points for the game.
 
Uarizona kitties leading Jacks 61-46 at the end of 3 as superior pac 12 talent shows.

This Uarizona team has depth, a star in Cate Reese, and clearly needs work on the jump shot. Without reliable three point shooting the kitties may face problems against the elite pac teams.

Aari opens the 4th missing a wide open 3.
 
NC State sets a new school record for points in a quarter, scoring 39 against NC Central and holds an 85-38 lead, going to the 4th quarter. All five starters reached double-figures. Elissa Cunane leading all scorers with 17 points, Jakia Brown-Turner with 15 and Raina Perez off the bench with 13.

Paris McBride with 10 points for NC Central.

NC State shooting 67.4% for the game...and went 13 of 15 from the floor in the 3rd quarter.

Aari finally warming up, has 3 3's now and 18 points. Pellington got going too. 4 Cats in double figures and Ware needs 1 more bucket to join them. Lead is 20 midway thru Q4.

Bailey has had herself a great 2nd half for NAU.
 
Arizona empties the bench. Mote has been pushed way down the rotation after showing some potential last year as a Fr.
 
Garbage time. Game has become unwatchable.

Valiant effort by NAU.
 
So...Wake Forest leading Missouri St. midway thru Q3. Curious.
